And what ELSE would you expect to happen if you set your bios up to function in that method.
In what method, pray? What other method do you think I can setup MY BIOS?
and what was sda, the boot disk, becomes sdb, and still boots fine.
That is, I use hotplug.
You don't hotplug your boot system and core OS.
Of course not. You can not umount it live.
I won't even ask why you would think of doing this but the system is working 100% predicably and correctly and the problem is between the keyboard and the chair.
There is no problem at all. I don't see any problem. My machine works reliably and boots no matter how I shuffle my disks. It is properly designed, together with Linux, to handle modern life properly. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
